The president, when he is out of office, and within eighteen
months after, and all others offending against the
State, either by maladministration, corruption, or other
means, by which the safety of the Commonwealth may be
endangered, within eighteen months after the offence
committed, shall be impeachable by the house of assembly
before the legislative council; such impeachment to be
prosecuted by the attorney-general, or such other person
or persons as the house of assembly may appoint, according
to the laws of the land. If found guilty, he or they shall
be either forever disabled to hold any office under government,
or removed from office pro tempore, or subjected to
such pains and penalties as the laws shall direct. And all
officers shall be removed on conviction of misbehavior at
common law, or on impeachment, or upon the address of
the general assembly.
